A candid fireside chat with Matt Lee
Matt will discuss the big pain points for MSPs today and how to elevate them. Having already built a MSP to a 170-person business, you know he knows what it takes to help other MSPs to scale and be successful in cybersecurity. As more MSPs realize there is much more to learn about cybersecurity and risk management, the road ahead can appear daunting. The truth is that it is extremely complicated and constantly changing. Cybersecurity is NOT a plug-and-play gig. It's constantly morphing and while better integrations and AI are making it easier to manage, it still requires skill and human intervention. We will investigate a framework in which MSPs and MPPs can lay a solid foundation for addressing the challenge of building a successful practice.

Security Threats With APIs And APPs
An API is used by most applications. Most of the internet traffic is the result of API queries. How important is API security in terms of cybersecurity? How do you keep APIs safe? An investigation into the subject will provide insights and will investigate how APIs can be better protected. We will also discuss the risks of APPs (particularly APPs that have not been approved by the company) and how you can mitigate the risk.
Fenil Kacharia, Business Development Manager
Can Digital Transformation Take Place in the Absence of Cybersecurity?
The digital transformation of business is accelerating everywhere. However, digital transformation simply cannot occur without cybersecurity. These two major trends are “joined at the hip.” This is a huge opportunity for MSPs to combine the two topics into a single, powerful, comprehensive message to drive revenue.
Max Henderson, Chief Data Officer
How Can Channel Partners Influence Their Clients' Cyber Risks and Insurability?
We are all aware of the extensive range of critical IT services that MSPs and MSSPs provide to their clients. What is the true impact of these partners on cyber risk reduction? You will investigate the findings of a recent research project in which they were able to assess the client's insurability, likelihood of a breach, and overall impact the partner has had on their clients using real client data.

You've been hacked…Now what?
When you are hit with a right of boom (breach), the first thing that comes to mind is to determine whether your data is truly safe for a wipe and restore. First, you must put an end to the breach. Then, as soon as possible, restore business uptime. Finally, conduct a thorough forensic investigation to determine what occurred and gather evidence for compliance and possible prosecution. Then it's a matter of resolving the issue to keep it from happening again.

“IOT Security Services Association just hit a homerun with one of the first in-person events over the last 2 years. The recent Cybersecurity Expo in Charlotte was a hit with engaging speakers, timely content and some of the best prizes I have ever seen. Robin and the team have scored a win with this event and I am eager to attend all future events.”
“Upon attending my first IoTSSA Cybersecurity event, I will admit I was impressed by the quality and density of valuable information available to me as an IT security-focused executive. There were highly relevant presentations, and the portfolio of sponsors was broad enough to answer numerous partner needs I had going in to the event. I plan to attend many more IoTSSA events in the future based on this first experience. This is worth your time if you are a decision maker in the IT security services space for SMB clients.”
“I skip more events than I attend as they turn out to be another ploy to get you to pay for services that you don’t need. Free lunch is never worth the hassle. This was by far one of the most informative, entertaining, and productive events I have ever been too. My team has met some truly outstanding individuals who just want to make the IT community better. Of course, we will buy and recommend the companies we met even though that was not their overall objective. Great job guys and look forward to the next event.”
“Yesterday’s Cyber Security Expo was top notch. This was my first IoTSSA event to attend and I am 100% a fan. Everyone was on the same page and all of the information was relevant to the topic – Cyber Security. Time very well spent with industry experts and peers alike. Furthermore, I believe we will be partnering with a least one new vendor from the event; possibly multiple.”
“It was a very amazing experience, with a lot of information and knowledge, excellent vendors stack and incredible networking and golf time. I travelled from Florida to the IoTSSA in Texas and it was really worth it. See you at the next one.”
“IoTSSA’s Expo events are one of a kind! It is a great place to learn about the vast majority of security products and expert advice. I can’t wait for the next event!”
“The event was obviously well organized and very relevant to our business, engaging and fun. The presenters were compelling – I left with several new exciting ideas about how to improve my company and better serve our customers.”
“Iotssa’s event showcased security-centric solutions that enable MSP’s to further strengthen the integrity of client environments. Additionally, the educational aspect was both eye opening and paramount in positioning our organization as trusted advisors in this ever changing, fast-paced technological landscape.”
“Whenever I attend an event I have to assess if it was worth the time out of the office. The IoTSSA conference easily passes that threshold. Great presentations, 1-on-1 with relevant vendors and many peer conversations.”
“The IoTSSA live events and Security Blog are invaluable resources for our team to stay updated on the latest in the cybersecurity industry. The live events provide a good mix of content from industry leaders and feedback from peer IT service providers.”
“The time was well spent for my team to get an update to the security issues of the day and methods and partners who are complementary to the services we provide as an MSP. With so much information coming at us on security issues, IoTSSA summarizes the dominant issues and provides solution paths – Which was very beneficial.”
